Saba Remembers His Chicago Roots On "There You Go"

It's been a minute since Saba blessed fans with solo music. But that all changed today (Aug. 16) after the Chicago native released the soulful record, "There You Go."

Produced by Daoud as well as Saba, the rookie rapper remanences over his long-lost buddies back in the Chi. Saba's rapid flow over tearful and jazz-influenced instrumentals give life to his surreal stories of growing pangs.

"I'm a independent young black men/I'm at yo head that's a CAT scan/Not here to kick it no Jack Chan/Random shoutout to my black fans
Listening to it and yelling out pivot/I'm partially studious, partially ignorant/I'm not here for the 15 minutes/All my team is winning, Imma need a minute," raps Saba.

Just last week, Saba released the music visuals for "World In My Hands," a song from 2016's Bucket List Project. Also, fans can catch Saba on the road this fall on his European tour.

More on Vibe

As Black History Month nears the end, a handful of hip-hop and R&B artists are treating fans to some new music. Among the list includes Offset, who just dropped his highly anticipated solo album, Kehlani's latest mixtape, and Gunna's new project.

Just so you're on top of things, we've compiled a list of all the new Friday music releases you should be listening to. Check it out below.

The Migos member has been teasing the album since late 2018. It was originally expected to drop in Dec. 2018, but was delayed. During the 2019 Grammy Awards, he shared a teaser online, which shows footage of Cardi B giving birth to their daughter Kulture. In past interviews Offset revealed that this album would get personal and discuss his struggles with infidelity, marriage, and fatherhood.

Father of 4 is the final solo album to release amongst the Migos. It follows Takeoff's The Last Rocket and Quavo's QUAVO HUNCHO, both of which released in 2018.

Stream Offset's new album below.

Kehlani – While We Wait

Kehlani is back with a new mixtape that is bound to get the streets talking. While We Wait features guest appearances from Ty Dlolla $ign, 6lack, Dom Kennedy and more.

Ahead of the tape's release, Kehlani teased fans with the single "Nunya," featuring Dom Kennedy. She also dropped the accompanying video, which showed Kehlani rocking all-white ensembles in a very earthy environment.

As Kehlani previously noted, While We Wait is just the beginning of a music-filled year. Stream the new project below.

Gunna – Drip or Drown 2

Gunna is back with the second installment of his Drip or Down series. Drip of Drown 2 contains 16 tracks long and features Young Thug, Lil Baby, and Playboi Carti.

Of the project, Gunna told Coveteur: "It’s me. It’s a project that’s a lot of me, not a lot of features. I’ve been working on it for a while, so I got a lot of hits on there. Like hits, not just a one, two, three thing. Hits."

He added: "I feel [the inspiration behind it is] the whole year of 2018 and how everybody just dripped—new songs, new drip. This album inspired me to let you know what I live and die by. I be fresh every day. I’ve been doing it since a child, no exaggeration [laughs]. So that’s me. I’m explaining a little bit about how I feel about my drip."

Stream the new project from Gunna below.

ELHAE – Trouble In Paradise

ELHAE has released his new project, Trouble In Paradise. The 13-track project features, Wale, Sevyn Streeter, O.T. Genasis, Big K.R.I.T., and more.

The album features the pre-released track, "Hennessy." Of the single, ELHAE said: "It's the beginning... The kid is just going through it. When we go through things, we tend to drink. So, he's asking all of these questions as he's throwing them back. It happens when anybody goes through turmoil in a relationship. It feels like all hope is lost in the beginning. 'Hennessy' captures that."

Check out Trouble In Paradise below.

Lil Pump – Harverd Dropout

After a long wait, Lil Pump's sophomore album, Harverd Dropout is here. The 16-track project include a rockstar features list, including Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Quavo, 2 Chainz, YG, and more.

The album features the pre-released single "I Love It" with Kanye and "Eskeetit." Lil Pump was supposed to go on tour in support of the album, but it was cancelled earlier this year. It's unclear if he intends to announced new dates anytime soon.

Through a montage of dark city views paired with silver monochronistic architecture, Rico Love is making sure the main lady in his life blossoms above all possible adversity from her past in the newly released visuals for his latest single, “Shine.”

The video features a beautiful, chocolate-hued woman clad in a pinkish fur coat, who serves as Rico’s main source of love and affection. With his captivating lyrics and a soulful voice filled of conviction, the Grammy award winning songwriter is steadily making his sonic stance on the R&B world.

Love credits his stellar musicianship to his discipline when it comes to studying music. In an interview with The Fader, he details part of his learning process taking it back to his rapper days.

"It’s just like a guy who’s 6’10". He can teach himself how to dunk if he does it every day. I take everything serious that I do. I go 100%," he said. "I study. It wasn’t like I was just this rapper who didn’t listen to Queen, who didn’t understand Rufus Wainwright, that didn't listen to the Beatles. I don’t want to sound like a pompous jerk, but I have amazing taste in music. When you start loving great songs, when it’s time to write one your own ear can understand what’s a great song and what’s not."

When it concerns her personal situations in love, Kehlani is taking the mind over matter approach. Over a chill West Coast-style beat paired with Dom Kennedy's lyrics, the 23-year-old mother-to-be is denouncing those who want unsolicited participation in matters of the heart on “Nunya.”

With picturesque sceneries of snow and mountains, Lani creates a winter wonderland fantasy as the sun glistens over her chic white outfits. Amid the beautiful images, there are brief interludes of the Oakland native partying it up as she delivers a message of independence.

“Nunya” is reportedly featured on Kehlani’s forthcoming mixtape, While We Wait. Kehlani recently announced on Twitter that the project is to set to drop on Friday (Feb. 22).
